Summary: In recent decades, environmental issues associated with plastics have become a global concern. Current research is looking for ecologically viable alternatives to replace conventional plastic, produced from petroleum-derived polymers, usually used in the
production of the plastic we use on a daily basis, which are difficult to decompose and, therefore, extremely harmful to the environment. . It happens, however, that it is still not clear whether the available alternatives will present better results in environmental, social and economic terms. There remains a need for more nuanced understandings of plastic and its
environmental impacts and for studies that analyze the acceptance of bioplastics from an industry perspective.
